question about Apexi-Vafc vtec controller

Hi guys, i am thinking of buying the Apexi-Vafc Vtec controller for my 01 honda prelude. I heard alot of people saying that if i set the Vtec lower than the factory, the car will run slow as hell, but i don't know, is that true.... or how does it really work? i am not really good with the "electrical setting" stuff. Please give me your best input , Thanks for your time

yes thats definatley true i tried it with with mine.i set it as low as it will go and you here it kick but it sounds like the cars boggin and the at factory settings it kick like it normally does.i also talked to to a friend whos sick when it comes to cars and he said you actually lose power if you set to low.his web site is b20vtec.com check it out.

The lower you set the VTEC, the shittier it kicks. The higher you set it, the harder it kicks in, but you have less of it. I wouldn't change it more than a thousand RPM's either way, it just depends on what your setup is.

how do you figure you loose power? 1/4 mile times might be different, but you wont loose any power... your hp curve will be a little different (if its set low, the hp increase curve will be longer, if its set hi, the curv will be shorter)

Not sure what kind of motor this is going on, but my vtec (b16a) kicks in at 4k rpms(as apposed to 5200) and im almost positive with the same car, same motor, and same mods, same tranny... my car would come out on top in the 1/4 mile (forgetting the ability of the driver).... what your saying just isnt making sense

I dont have one on my car, vtec just kicks in at 4 for me.... sorry for the mis understanding.... a buddy of mine is useing one on his Crv-tec (JDM b20 block with b16a head) and he loves it.... the hard part is tuneing it i suppose, cant just Butt dyno it, you have to spend some $$ to get it tuned right.... BTW, its bad to set your vtec crossover TOO low....
